   How would I go about paginating this?
   <?php $recent = new WP_Query('cat=1,35,32,27,42,37,3,8,4,7,26,36,6,5'); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>

   Whenever I click on a different page other than page 1, the posts just stay the same.

   Please help. Thanks :)

   You need to add logic to include the page in the query.

   For example:

   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

   $recent = new WP_Query("cat=1,35,32,27,42,37,3,8,4,7,26,36,6,5&paged=$paged");

   Hope that helps.

   I think this post is related to a problem I'm suffering with also. In your second line of code

   $recent = new WP_Query("cat=1,35,32,27,42,37,3,8,4,7,26,36,6,5&paged=$paged");

   Are pages dynamically added to this list of page/post numbers or do you have to add them manually?

   Oh and where am I supposed to place this code?

   Also I've had the same problem with another Pagination plugin so I believe it might be something to do with my folder permissions. What does your plugin require on that front to be able to work correctly?

   I'll share you the code that got it working for me :)

   <?php
   $temp = $recent;
   $recent= null;
   $recent = new WP_Query('cat=-6&showposts=5&paged=' . $paged);
   while ($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();
   ?>
   
   Template to view the posts itself
   
   <?php
   if(function_exists('wp_paginate')) { wp_paginate(); }
   $recent = null; $recent = $temp; ?>

   Also, I have just fixed my other problem when it was showing empty pages. You have to remove the "cat=-6&" from WP_Query. Then you should have no blank pages like I did.

   Hope it helps!

   EDIT:

   Nevermind,

   I started from scratch following this tutorial and got it working.

   Good article to read if you're having the same issue.
